My wonderfully talented friend Bruce threw me a lovely birthday party this past Sunday, February 27. He went all out, everything from rainbow colored invitations, to a nice little location reserved just for the party called, “Fat Cats”, ordering the cake, hosting the dinner for the guests, drinks, flowers, decorations…and not to mention the huge macadamia nut and white chocolate cookie birthday cookie he baked from scratch!

So it was awesome. Jason and I arrived and and everything was perfect. As the usual suspects began to show we eventually dug into the grub. I didn’t get any pictures of the food! It was amazing! The restaurant is a BBQ bar and grill. They had beef brisket, wings, beans, potato salad, corn all the good stuff. I definitely went back for seconds.

Pharoh thought he was funny in this picture…He really isn’t that cool. I guess he was trying to say i was older than 27…

Bruce was so sweet to me, this is one of my favorite pictures:

The owners of the restaurant were so nice. After dinner they asked if there was any music we would like to listen to and they were telling me about the guy by the laptop who does their music/karaoke…My eyes lit up. Karaoke?? I asked them that would be an awesome bday present if they could set up karaoke for me. And they did! I got to sing with my friends and it was so much fun. I sang a couple songs. Pharoh sang Marvin Gaye, he was rockin that song! Everybody had alot of fun. As the party started wrapping up a couple hours later I started getting picture happy and had someone take this one:

So later on my friends Devin and his wife, and Judith came. I had a great time with my friends on my birthday. I haven’t celebrated a birthday like that in years. In many many years. It really was the best birthday ever. And so many people who I love and who I will miss dearly were there. I can’t believe that I have really 12 days left in San Diego. It makes my stomach turn, but I know change is coming and will be for the best. The most important thing is that I have met the most beautiful people here. They mean so much to me. And on my birthday they made me feel so so special, so thank you dear friends :)
